Chapter 181: Ascended Draw
Rina and Fiora had been nervously standing guard in front of his room, their expressions filled with worry and exhaustion from their continuous vigilance.
Upon seeing Orion standing there, awake and seemingly fine, their eyes widened instantly in a mixture of astonishment and overwhelming relief.
“Master!” Fiora gasped softly, visibly startled yet joyously relieved, her gentle eyes sparkling with happiness. “Y-you’re finally awake!”
Rina immediately stepped forward as well, her voice softly pleading yet firm, “Master, please don’t move around too much yet. Lady Selene explicitly instructed us to inform her the moment you woke up. She’s been extremely worried.”
Orion smiled warmly at their obvious concern, gently ruffling both girls’ hair affectionately. “Sorry to make you both worry so much. Thank you for guarding me so diligently. I’ll visit Grandma Selene and Grandpa Eldric first to reassure them. You can both relax now.”
The two girls exchanged hesitant glances, clearly torn between their relief and the seriousness of Selene’s instructions. But seeing Orion’s calm, gentle smile, Fiora softly nodded, cheeks slightly flushed, “Alright, M-Master. But please, please be careful.”
Orion chuckled lightly, his heart warmed by their earnest care. “I promise. After visiting Grandma and Grandpa, I’ll take proper rest.”
With a nod to the two maids, Orion calmly walked toward Eldric and Selene’s private room. As he reached the ornate wooden doors carved with elegant patterns, he knocked gently before stepping inside after hearing a soft, familiar voice reply.
Selene was sitting quietly by the window, her gaze thoughtful, while Eldric paced restlessly. Both instantly turned upon Orion’s entry, their expressions quickly shifting from deep concern to relief.
“Orion, my dear child!” Selene immediately moved forward, gently clasping his hands and inspecting him carefully, her eyes filled with tender warmth yet faint lingering worry. “How are you feeling now? Any pain or discomfort?”
Eldric approached slowly as well, eyes carefully assessing Orion’s condition even as his expression relaxed significantly. “You gave us quite a scare, brat. Are you really alright now?”
